Gary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a store owned by their father. After the father had passed away, they took over the store. Everything went well until the day a twenty-dollar bill disappeared. Gary had left the bill on the cash register (收银台). But when he returned, the money was gone.

    Gary then asked his brother Gavin, "Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register?' Gavin said that he had not. But Gary did not let it go and kept asking. "Twenty-dollar bills can't walk away by themselves! Surely you must have seen it." "I said I didn't see it!" Gavin replied with anger.

   The quarrel divided the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the center of the store. For twenty years, hostility (敌意) never ended.

    One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, "How long have you been here?" Gary replied that he'd been there all his life. "Then you are the person I'm looking for," the man said. "Twenty years ago, I was totally broke and hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I haven't been able to forget that. I had to come back and apologize for that.

    The stranger felt shocked when seeing tears well up in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. "Would you please go next door and tell the same story to the man in the store?" Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger even more--after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and cried together in the front of the wall of the store.

    After twenty years, the wall that separated them finally came down.

Elias Chasiotis loves taking photos. He s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} a few days in Qatar. That was surely a worthy trip. One day, a solar eclipse（日食） was in progress above the sea, making it look like two horns rising from the water. And Chasiotis caught it all with his c{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. 

The photo wasn't the result of just chance and luck. Chasiotis carefully chose a place where he got a perfect view of the eclipse. The w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} wasn't good at the beginning— it was cloudy. He was w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} that he couldn't see anything. L{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, the Sun began to rise after a while. It looked like two red horns rising from the sea. Because of their shape, they were nicknamed the "Devil's Horns". 

Some children don't like their schoolbags. Schoolbag makes them think of books and homework. My schoolbag is different. It is from my father, and there is a name "Mary" on it. I love it because it holds everything I need.

I love books and my schoolbag keeps them with me. I don't mean only schoolbooks. I mean my reading books, too. Now I am reading Peter Rabbit. After that, I will read Harry Potter.My schoolbag also holds my lunch box. Dad always puts a good lunch in my schoolbag. Sometimes he puts a note in it. That way, I feel happy all the afternoon.

Sometimes my schoolbag is very heavy, but I don't mind. It has everything I need. It's like a home on my back.

Good morning! My name is Wang Fang. I'm a Chinese girl. I am tall and I have black hair and big eyes. My phone 1 is 6875-9013. I am 2 No. 5 Middle School . The school is very nice. Welcome 3 our school. Mr. Yang is my Chinese 4 . I like his Chinese 5 . I am in my6 now. There are many desks and chairs in it. This is a desk. The color of the desk is blue. It's Lily's desk. Brown is her 7 name. Lily Brown is my good 8 . She is an English girl. Look9 keys and a schoolbag on the desk. The keys are yellow. 10 are Lily's. The schoolbag is blue. Is it hers, too? No, it is my schoolbag.

Mushrooms are tasty and rich in healthy nutrients (营养物), which makes some people  collect them in the wild. However, eating the wrong mushrooms can make you sick or even dead. Therefore, growing mushrooms yourself inside your own home is getting popular.

There are two ways to do this. You can buy a set of materials from a garden store called a "grow kit (工具包) "or you can put them together yourself.

Grow kits(GK)

Grow kits are a great way for beginners to try growing mushrooms. These grow kits include partly-grown mushroom starters, called "spawn." (菌种体) The spawn is set in soil (土壤) and is planted in its own grow box. You put the spawn in water overnight. Then you return it to the box and open it to fresh air. Water it twice a day.

Within two or three weeks, you will be eating mushrooms with more on the way. It is fun and easy.

Putting them together yourself(PTTY)

If you want a larger harvest, it will cost less to put the materials together yourself. It is easy, too.

For starters, you will need a wooden, metal, or plastic box and some soil mixed with compost (肥料) and other materials. You will also need to buy fungal spores (真菌孢子) (something like seeds).

With clean hands, fill the box with your soil and materials. Put the spores evenly over the soil substance (物质) and water it twice a day gently.

To grow quickly and effectively, the spore-topped soil material should be kept away from direct sunlight. It should be kept at or close to 21℃. Put a piece of cloth lightly over the top of the box to keep moisture(水分) in. But do not cover it tightly (紧紧地). After it was coated with mycelium (菌丝体), move the box to a cooler place —12℃ to 15 ℃.

Mushrooms grow very quickly. With their tops fully open, they will be ready to harvest. That will be in about three to four weeks. Use a sharp, clean knife to cut them at soil level to avoid influencing nearby growth.

Do you want to taste safe and nutritious mushrooms? Grow them at home right now.
